Sometimes ago ,my wife was really in a bad mood ,she told me when we were  about to go to bed “Nowadays, i dont know, i have not really been myself “. “What is the problem ” i asked, suprised. “When i think of the fact that God has delayed in fulfilling what He promised,it makes me feel very weak”. she replied. I knew i have to say something to lift her spirit. “So do you think God is not capable of fulfilling His promise? i queried. “No i believe God can do anything,it is just that i need His strength rigth now”.she finally submitted .

Really, i felt for her and we prayed together and then went to bed.

The following morning before we started devotion ,the Holyspirit ministered to me to speak on the topic      ‘ … I will be with you:i will not fail you nor forsake you’ (Josh 1:5)(KJ2000)
 
I am sharing with you today what the Holy spirit laid upon my heart to share with my wife.
Are the promises of God in the past tense or the present tense?This is a great question considering the fact that so many christhen do not know that the promises are actually in the past tense .Yes, they are settled already. If God says “I will never fail you nor forsake you” ,then that settles it. It should not be up for any discussion on whether He will do it or not.He told Josua in Josh 1:5 that He will be with him just like He was with Moses and He will never leaves him nor forsake him. Josua must believe this because it came from the God who will never lie. It is now the duty of Josua(or you and i) to make this promise happen in his(our) life.
 
What does he (you and i) have do to make it work ? The good God also supplied the answer in the same bible chapter (Josua 1)

*He must be strong and courageous to obey His instructions (Josh 1:7).
…You need strength and courage to make this promise work upon yuor life .

*He must divide an inheritance for the people (Josh 1:6).
…You must be where God says you should be.Do what God says you should do.Dont be like Jonah who was not where God says he should be and he felt God’s promise of protection is not true when problem arose in the ship but the fault was all from him.

*He must study and meditate daily on His Word Josua 1:8
…The Word of God contains the right story about your life. It is your “manual”This is where you have those great promises.You must read the bible to know about those promises.If you must know you must read it .It is what you know that you believe.

*This law should not depart out of your mouth (Josh 1:8)
…It is Gods promise which are settled.So say it and say it  until somebody will call your attention to it.
Gods word is setlled,The promises were handed over to us over 2000years ago by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross of Calvary.

 If it seems not to be working in your life ,it is not because the promises have ceased to be true but it is because you have ceased to make it happen in your life .

Remember, the problem is not from GOD.
